AB2118 establishes objective standards for multifamily housing developments in California to streamline the approval process.

AB2118, the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022, aims to facilitate the development of multifamily housing by setting objective standards for local governments to review housing projects. The bill specifies that a housing development project is exempt from discretionary local government approvals if it meets certain criteria, such as being a multifamily housing project and adhering to specified residential densities. It also outlines standards for building heights, setbacks, and air filtration systems, particularly for developments near freeways.
